Stay well away.

Absolutely worst estate agent that I have ever dealt with. Amir is not only rude aggressive and a bully but a crook.
When moving into the property he black mailed me asking me to remove my review and only then would he refund my secure deposit once all this was cleared up and I was able to move into the property he moved me into a property that was not gas safe. The cooker was immediately dangerous once reported amir told me it’s not his duty to supply any kitchen fittings in a rented property. On finally agreeing which took them 8 weeks to sort out which he made me
Pay for the new one which I was reimbursed by the landlord.
Stay clear was he is a night mare.

Excellent, friendly service, definitely recommend

I bought my new shine and Next Chapter were the selling Agents. I feel that they went above and beyond in finding the right property for me and my family and following it through to completion. Hayley was always on the phone to offer advice and reassurance. I also used their in-house mortgage advisor Zing, who were excellent. Always kept me up to date and speeded my 6 week move for me. Would definitely use Next Chapter in the future.

Highly recommended

After selling my house within a week (for the asking price) Next Chapter continued to impress me with a consistent professional service, from start to finish. I received regular updates and communication with easy and honest. I’d highly recommend this company.

Amazing customer support and service…

Amazing customer support and service from start to finish, achieved a very good price for my property above what I was expecting! Wish I'd have listened to their advice on solicitors as they clearly know best! Far better service that you will get with a bigger agent who all seem to forget you after you agreed on the price, couldn't recommend them enough!

Cant praise enough Hayley and the next chapter team at brentwood for all their help moving date in 19 days. Haven't moved in 27 years so needed a bit of support and Hayley was there to answer all my questions. Thank you so much you made a stressful time so much easier for me. High recommendations.

Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish. From the photographs and videos taken to get our property on the market to guiding us through the whole sale process and ensuring we sold our home. Next Chapter have been instrumental in helping us buy our dream home and onto the next stage of our lives. We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home!

I would NOT recommend Next Chapter they are by far the worst estate agent in Brentwood , why does Amir feel the need to make up posts on linkin are they struggling for new business??
I sent next chapter a detailed email of what to write which was then copied and pasted into right move , all the reviews here are hard to believe.
Next Chapter are chasing me for 250.00 i felt there was no need to pay this as they did no marketing and did not show my house to any prospective buyer they promised the world yet delivered NO results!

Please be careful before you sign up with next chapter do your due diligence no estate agent has reviews like this be very careful and do not get sucked in.

Reply from Next Chapter Estate Agents

Gurnam. Thank you for voicing your concerns. We are extremely transparent as a company, and hide nothing. Creating anything hidden just results in a bad reputation, so I'm surprised to hear that you knew nothing about a marketing cancellation fee. We had open conversations about this over the phone, and in writing. Next Chapter paid out for a CGI for your home, and was marketing the property across Rightmove, and Zoopla, which all costs money. As you know. We earn no money if we do not sell a property, as we work on a no sale, no fee basis. So if we paid out money and then you decided to take the property off the market, then a marketing cost to be reimbursed, is a fair thing to ask for. Which you were absolutely aware of.

In terms of the property description and the advert itself. We are successful in our approach in selling properties, however, everything we produced, which was done by experienced professionals, you were never happy with, despite going back and forth with you to get them edited, you were only happy with things that you yourself had produced. I feel that because of this, we were always on the back foot from day one.

99% of our clients are happy with our approach, and what we deliver on for them. I am of course upset and sorry that you feel the way you do, and have taken it on board. I wish you all the best in the sale of your home, which I understand remains unsold for many months, after you putting it on, and then off with various different Estate Agents.

Next Chapter - Great service.

Amazing service from day one by Amir and the whole team. 100% feel valued as a client and they put your requirements before anything else. Also very helpful after-care. No negatives at all. Thanks - Luke S.

Great Estate Agents

This is the second time we have used next chapter to sell our property. Both times they have been brilliant! They secured a buyer within record times and the sales completed smoothly. The team at next chapter always kept us informed and uptodate with what was going on at all times. We also used the recommended solicitior who were also great - they were professional, quick and thorough.

We would definately recommend Amir and his team at next chapter and will be using them again for our next sale and hopefully purchase!

Exceptional service!

We dealt with Next Chapter when purchasing. Considering that we were not actually their client they could not have been more helpful. Special mention must be given to Kelly Farnan who called me with updates, sometimes on an hourly basis, worked proactively to push the chain along, and was our sounding board when the frustrations of the conveyancing process got too much - nothing was ever too much trouble for Kelly. We would not hesitate to recommend.

A real breath of fresh air

A real breath of fresh air. Competent, helpful and very fair. Not words we'd come to associate with estate agents until now. We cannot recommend Amir and the team highly enough. I wish them continued success which they really deserve. I can't see us ever using another estate agent!

Next Chapter Estate Agents - A Fantastic Company

Peter, Kelly, Amir & the rest of the staff at Next Chapter are fantastic.
They offered a friendly, personalised yet professional service.

As first time buyers we had a lot of questions & queries and they had no problem assisting us however they could.

Next Chapter have a wide range of fantastic properties of varying size, price, style & location. This allowed us to easily and quickly explore a wide variety of options and properties which helped us narrow down our choices and decide on the type of property that we wanted to purchase.

Once we decided on a property they worked with us to provide a speedy and stress free path to completion.

We would recommend Next Chapter to anyone and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Thank you again for all your help!
